Definitely didn't like this primer as much as I thought I would. I found that it didn't really prime my skin and my foundation looked as though I hadn't primed either as it went oily and yuck looking quite soon after applying it over this primer. I didn't really like the fact it was tinted as the colour moved around a bit, and it also did nothing to cover my pores which is one of its main selling points. I suppose it would be decent for people with drier skin who have barely any pores, but I probably wouldn't recommend it.

I have been using this product for a month now and I am impressed with its ability to make my makeup look amazing including occluding all those wrinkles I have and lasting all day and into the evening.Amazing little gem of a product.
Tips: A little goes a long way! Use sparingly before moisturizer.
The first time I tried this primer was at a daytime music festival in Brisbane. Usually my face melts off quick smart in that kind of environment so you can imagine my delight when I got home afterwards and it still looked good. Good enough to go back out clubbing without having to touch up much at all. Needless to say I bought a tube as soon as I got back to NZ and have repurchased since then. I find this primer goes on smoothly (probably due to the silicone) and gives a nice tint to my skin but this may not suit all skin tones. It makes my makeup last heaps longer than usual and I dont get smudges or creasing in my frown lines which is always a bonus haha. This is now my "in between" primer which I use for days where I need my makeup to last til after work or weekends where I'm going out but not having a super big night.
Tips: Always wait for it to sink in a bit before applying your makeup.
I had previously used another brand priner and was very disappointed, so didn't want to spend a lot on something which didn't work.
For the price this product is amazing.
My makeup goes on at 6.30am, and is still in place at 9pm when I take it off.
For the price it is certainly worth trying - I was very pleasantly suprised.
Tips: Wait for it to lose its initial moisture before apply foundation (only takes a minute ot so)
This was the first primer I ever used. I was a little worried about it's peachy/orange tone and the scent really got to me.
I decided to try it anyway and it did nothing to my skin except make it look really greasy (which is odd because I have dry skin), and it didn't help foundation stay on. I'm now wondering I this is because of the greasiness.
I'm not sure ifI I perhaps got a bad batch but I used it straight for a week and then threw it out, I hated it so much
I boasted about this when I first used it, but it was my first primer.. I realise now my mistake. Whilst this is cheap, and probably good for dry skin, my skin is normal-oily and found this has no power compared to other primers. It does come out of the tube orange, but it does go clear I found, but if you were incredibly pale, I don't know if you would go orange or not, because it can be quite a strong colour.
I think if you're on a very low budget, with dry skin, this would be a primer to try, and eventually move on from, but other than that, no way.
I love Rimmel foundations and so thought I would give a rimmel primer a go.
This primer has a peachy tint which once rubbed in disappears (although is a bit odd looking when you squeeze it out of the tube). I found this made my skin feel smooth (in that silicon primer kind of way) but didn't minimize my pores at all. It did seem to help my foundation stay looking nice all day but that's about all it did. I wouldn't recommend this primer and will not be repurchasing it.
Tips: Use a small amount, otherwise it will feel heavy on your skin and will not rub in properly.
I use this primer almost everyday with my tinted moisturiser. It really helps the tinting effect to last longer. However, when I used the primer with RImmel BB cream, I had this cakey feeling. I tried to improve this by scrubbing my face before putting make-up on and using a good sponge as well. Sadly, I can't achieve the natural look I want.
Tips: better used with more liquid foundation than bb cream
I had never used a primer before until purchasing the Lime Crime eyeshadow helper, now that is a winner and I was totally convinced that primer is amazing and that I needed a full face version. This product is not it.
I like Rimmel, I do, normally they're products are spot on for me but I did find this to be lacking. It felt amazing at first, smoothed on really nicely, felt light and refreshing as I let it dry, smelt pretty good for a primer, I was convinced! Until a few hours later at work. I am a receptionist in a small beauty therapy clinic and it get's pretty hot sometimes. I may as well have not been wearing a primer for all the good that this little pot did me. While I don' expect a primer to be a life saving remedy. The Lime Crime version across my cheeks and nose worked a treat. This was definitely dissapointing.
Tips: Not worth the $20 in my opinion. Have a hunt around and read reviews to find an amazing product. I am sure there are cost efficient primers out there that do a better job.
I brought this because it was relatively cheap and I needed a new primer. I find it to be average - it glides on smoothly, has a nice texture and my makeup definitely stays in place. But it doesn't really hide or minimise my pores, which is my main focus when i buy a primer. I don't think I would buy this one again - so the hunt for the perfect primer continues unfortunately.
Tips: Great for someone who doesn't really have pore issues, like me :)
